Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) increases the risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military populations. Utilizing translationally relevant animal models is imperative for establishing a platform to delineate neurobehavioral deficits common to clinical PTSD that emerge in the months to years following mTBI. Such platforms are required to facilitate preclinical development of novel therapeutics. First, this mini review provides an overview of the incidence of PTSD following mTBI in military service members. Secondly, the translational relevance of fear conditioning paradigms used in conjunction with mTBI in preclinical studies is evaluated. Next, this review addresses an important gap in the current preclinical literature; while incubation of fear has been studied in other areas of research, there are relatively few studies pertaining to the enhancement of cued and contextual fear memory over time following mTBI. Incubation of fear paradigms in conjunction with mTBI are proposed as a novel behavioral approach to advance this critical area of research. Lastly, this review discusses potential neurobiological substrates implicated in altered fear memory post mTBI.
